In a dimly lit treatment room, a soft red glow radiates across the skin — not heat, but energy.
This is it Joanna Vargas Vitalight Faciala red and infrared LED treatment designed to reawaken your skin’s natural intelligence. Using precise wavelengths of light, Vitalight works at the cellular level to rejuvenate tired, inflamed or aging skin — restoring radiance, firmness and calmness in one deeply restorative session.
The treatment, performed by Joanna Vargas herself and her team of experts, merges clinical science with spa serenityoffering one of the most advanced forms of non-invasive skin rejuvenation available today.
1. What is Red and Infrared Light Therapy?
Red and near-infrared light therapy (often called photobiomodification) uses low-level light wavelengths to gently stimulate your cells.
When absorbed by the mitochondria – the ‘power factories’ of your cells – these wavelengths increase its output ATP (adenosine triphosphate)the energy currency that fuels repair, renewal and regeneration.
At Joanna Vargas, our LED panels are calibrated double wavelengths:
Red light (630–660 nm): It targets the surface layers of the skin, improving tone, brightness and collagen synthesis.
Infrared light (830–850 nm): It penetrates deeper into tissues, relieving inflammation, stimulating circulation and promoting long-term healing.
Together, they restore balance to the skin’s natural ecosystem.
2. What makes the Vitalight Facial unique
Unlike general LED face care products, Vitalight is a fully customized Joanna Vargas experience. Each session combines red and infrared wavelengths with oxygen injection, lymphatic massageor refreshing herbal masksaccording to the needs of the skin.
The result: the power of technology, delivered through the art of touch.
“Light is nourishment for the skin. It restores what stress, pollution and time take away.” — Joanna Vargas
This combination not only instantly rejuvenates skin, but also helps regulate skin function over time — improving texture, elasticity and resilience.
3. Proven benefits of red & infrared light therapy
✓ Strengthens collagen and elasticity
Red light activates fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin, visibly softening fine lines, tightening pores and restoring firmness.
✓ Reduces inflammation and redness
Infrared wavelengths penetrate deeper to calm inflamed skin, making it ideal for post-extraction, post-peeling or acne-prone skin types.
✓ Detoxifies and exfoliates
Exposure to light accelerates lymphatic drainage – helping to remove toxins, reduce puffiness and naturally contour the face.
✓ Restores cellular energy
By stimulating ATP production, cells perform better — repairing damage faster, enhancing hydration, and improving nutrient uptake.
✓ Promotes relaxation and well-being
Infrared light improves circulation and releases endorphins, leaving you relaxed, refreshed and glowing from the inside out.
